OPERATION
WHEN SHOULD THE HOOD BE SWITCHED ON AND OFF?
Switch on the hood at least one minute before starting to cook: this enhances the airflow to convey fumes and vapours towards the suction surface.
After cooking, leave the hood operating until complete extraction of all vapours and odours. If required, for versions with electronic push button
control panel, by means of the Timer function, it is possible to set hood auto switch-off after 15 minutes of operation.
WHICH SPEED IS TO BE SELECTED?
The first speed is a low consumption energy-saving way of keeping the air clean, the second speed is used in normal conditions, and the third
speed is used when there are strong odours and vapours.
WHEN SHOULD THE FILTERS BE WASHED OR REPLACED?
The hood is assembled with two different types of filters: metal ones (washable) and active carbon ones (non-washable). The former must be cleaned eve-
ry 30 hours of use (for versions with electronic push button control panel, the fixed red light
replaced every 3-4 months, depending on the use of the hood. For further information, please read the chapter regarding "Maintenance" on page 24.

Timer/Filters alarm
Pressing the key with the motor active at any speed activates the Timer function: this function determines the auto switch-off of the
hood after 15 minutes of operation. Activation of the function is signalled by a RED flashing light.
With the Timer function active, the hood can still be switched off by the user at any time by pressing the key
automatically disabled and the RED light will turn off. Should the speed be changed with the Timer function active, the latter will be
automatically disabled.
On the other hand, ignition of the fixed RED light indicates a grease filter alarm: this alarm notifies that it is time to wash the metal anti-
grease filters (the alarm is triggered after approximately 30 hours of use). After cleaning the filters, disable the alarm and reset the counters
by keeping the key pressed for 3 seconds.
To disassemble and assemble the anti-grease metal filters, refer to the instructions on drawing

The + key in the version with 4 speeds has an intermittent light: the 4th speed or intensity is timed and after approximately 7 minutes the motor au-
tomatically switches to 3rd speed.
